No more excuses: start playing Dungeons and Dragons on May 11
A common complaint we hear when we write about board games or tabletop role-playing is that many readers don't know people in real life who enjoy that sort of gaming. The trick was to find a group of like-minded gamers in high school, and then keep in touch as you all grow up. If you didn't manage to do that, you're having a bad time. Asking people if they'd like to be your dwarf at the water cooler can lead to awkward conversations. I have friends I can barely tolerate, but I treat them well because they can put together a good game.
I'm totally joking—Rodney, how's the campaign coming?
At any rate, it's time to find some new excuses, because the next series of Dungeons and Dragons Encounters is beginning on May 11. This is a program we've written about in the past. The concept is simple: by offering a standalone campaign that's playable by beginners in short sessions, it's easier than ever for people to begin playing.

It's great as a DM almost killing the party, but only two hours of play, they must get right to the dungeon no muss or fuss, no tripping, no taverns, where's the love people?

Yea, D&D is coming back, I miss thoes days. This game was the scourge of the religious right when I was playing it. That's why I played it.

You had me at "pisses off the religious right". I can't stand rap as a form of music but I still put it on the gangsta channel when attending family functions. I even call in and have them dedicate songs to my redneck brother.

nah. Little lead people are important.
Seriously though,....some folks like sci-fi,...or fantasy,....or westerns,.....or "games",.....some,....not so much. It is just a genre preference.
( I can hardly make it through watching a "romance" movie a year,.....and it better have done well at Sundance or in Austin )

Its "cowboys and indians" ,.....plus a shit load of "behind the scenes" rules for trying to make sense of what players are doing. That REALLY IS about it.
- - - some folks out there write goog story plots,.....or deliver lines well/get in to character,....that helps make it fun.
Vin Diesel and Colbert have both had things to say about it.
